Nope. I create the role (via puppet) and then add the GRANT
pg_read_all_data TO (via puppet).

What is \drgS? I don't believe I have that.

That looks good.

Here is the output of puppet's create role:

drop role alice;

The next puppet run and I get:

'CREATE ROLE "alice" ENCRYPTED PASSWORD \'$NEWPGPASSWD\' LOGIN
NOCREATEROLE NOCREATEDB NOSUPERUSER CONNECTION LIMIT -1'
GRANT pg_read_all_data TO alice;

test=# \du
List of roles
Role name | Attributes
| Member of
----------------------+------------------------------------------------------------+--------------------
alice |
| {pg_read_all_data}
postgres | Superuser, Create role, Create DB, Replication,
Bypass RLS | {}

...but I still cannot connect:

$ psql -d test -U alice
psql: error: connection to server on socket
"/var/run/postgresql/.s.PGSQL.5432" failed: FATAL: permission denied for
database "test"
DETAIL: User does not have CONNECT privilege.

Thanks for the help!
